Since Day One

[Verse 1]
I remember moving schools at the age of eight (the age of eight)
Leaving friends behind, never seen 'em since that day (since that day)
I was so nervous, who was I gonna meet? (I gonna meet)
Heart doing overtime walking through the gates
Step into the classroom, there’s a guy stacking chairs
Beat everyone through the entrance
I was first there
Dapped him up with an introduction
Foundations of brotherhood laid in that moment
Fast forward ten years and we’rе best friends
Lookin’ out for each othеr in these ends
Originals from the jump, never seek trends
People couldn’t replicate
Impossible to pretend

[Pre-Chorus]
You can’t put a price on respect
I’ll fight for it, no regrets
No pressure, I’ve been doing me for time
I don’t feel the air when they’re breathing down my neck
I bleed loyalty and I’m proud of it
Religiously make music but I’m atheist
Dedicated, driven, so that we will always win
And that’s the way it’s always been

[Chorus]
Since day one
Day one
Trust can’t be bought and should never be leveraged
These other frauds have been giving me headaches
Since day one
Day one
Corners I’ve fought, I’ll continue ‘til I’m dead
Not mourning the loss of the rear-view fakes

[Verse 2]
I been working nonstop (since day one)
Never leak, kept it on lock (since day one)
Held the real close to my side (since day one)
If problems arise, don’t let ‘em slide (since day one)
Oh, told my boys it’s going international
Speaking from the soul, that’s a fact for sho’ (for sho’)
Outsiders have only seen surface level
Blank the ones who said that my ambition isn’t rational

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause you can’t put a price on respect
I’ll fight for it, no regrets
No pressure, I’ve been doing me for time
I don’t feel the air when they’re breathing down my neck
I bleed loyalty and I’m proud of it
Religiously make music but I’m atheist
Dedicated, driven, so that we will always win
And that’s the way it’s always been

[Chorus]
Since day one
Day one
Trust can’t be bought and should never be leveraged
These other frauds have been giving me headaches
Since day one
Day one
Corners I’ve fought, I’ll continue ‘til I’m dead
Not mourning the loss of the rear-view fakes
